Download PDF. Introduction. Open fracture wounds are considered high energy injuries that come with a high risk of infection due to the potential exposure of bone and tissue to environmental pathogens. The Gustilo- Anderson classification system grades open fractures and can be utilized to guide antimicrobial prophylaxis. For Type I fractures, which are clean wounds less than 1 centimeter long, gram positive coverage is recommended; cefazolin is usually the agent of choice.
